comment |
The Wacky Adventures of Pedro was a comic published in Boys' Life (now Scout Life) magazine, documenting the exploits of their long-running mascot, Pedro the "Mailburro" (previously the star of short stories and one-panel strips shown in the Boys' Life letters column, Hitchin' Rack). Tom Eaton wrote and drew Wacky Adventures from 1990-2014. His run started out as page-long Slice of Life gag strips, but gradually sent Pedro on wacky adventures spanning everywhere from his hometown of Burropolis, to the far reaches of time and space. Stephen Gilpin took over the comic from January 2016-February 2022. His run retooled the series into a Work Com set mainly at the Boys'/Scout Life publishing office.The Scout Life website has an archive of Pedro comics from The New '10s onward, while even older comics can be found in Google Books' collection of Boys' Life issues. |

Aliens Speaking English |
| | The Wacky Adventures of Pedro (Comic Strip) / int_1049848f |
comment |
Aliens Speaking English: Some of the aliens Pedro has met can speak English, but others require a translator. One set of comics plays with this by sending Pedro to an asteroid on which most of the aliens speak Wingdinglish, until he meets a Jive-talker who learns English from watching American TV shows and movies. |

Look Behind You: Pedro sends the Cleanie back into his bottle by pointing at it, and exclaiming that it has some dust. After the Cleanie rushes back in, Pedro swiftly corks the bottle up. Pedro sends Erpod back into the mirror by telling him to look closely at it, then kicking him from behind. |

Making Use of the Twin: In-universe, a storyline about Pedro appearing in the movie The Monster From Earth has Ordep get hired as his stunt double. Ordep decides to take credit for Pedro's performance, rather than let him take credit for the stuntwork, and boots Pedro back to Earth.note October 2003-February 2005 |

Aborted Arc: A storyline in which Pedro jumped time periods with the Green Crystal of Time ran for eight stripsnote October 2012-May 2013, the last of which takes place in an undisclosed time period. The comic then entered reruns for two monthsnote specifically reprinting the comics from August and September 2002, then resumed with Pedro inexplicably back in modern-day Burropolis. |

In Medias Res: The first storyline with Ordep begins after he has already replaced Pedro and started causing mischief. The first comic doesn't reveal Ordep until the last panel, while the following one provides a Whole Episode Flashback to his escape from the mirror and locking up of Pedro. A storyline about Pedro getting roped into Ordep's scheme to scare a distant planet into submission also begins after Ordep has already started frightening the locals. |

Teleporter Accident: Pedro crosses over with Dink and Duff and Webelos Woody after Woody constructs a "matter transporter", which teleports all three series' main characters into and out of each others' stories. When Woody tries to wrap up the crossover by teleporting everyone back into their own comics, Woody's, Jake's, Duff's, and Pedro's heads end up on each other's bodies, with only Jake and Dink noticing.note After Boys' Life relegated Dink and Duff and Webelos Woody to a version of the magazine exclusive to Cub Scouts, the opportunity for a crossover with Pedro would never come again. |

Meaningful Name |
| | The Wacky Adventures of Pedro (Comic Strip) / int_6bda9a30 |
comment |
Meaningful Name: Regarding the "Ladino de Philmonte" section of Pedro's full name: "Ladino" was a name given to his ancestor, Don Juan, for his fluency in various kinds of human language, translated in "Pedro — My Story" as both "One who speaks more than one language", and, "sly, shrewd, a big talker." "Philmonte" refers to Philmont Scout Ranch, where Pedro resided before getting shipped to Boys' Life. |

Alien Abduction: Eaton's first Pedro serial to run longer than a yearnote specifically, from May 1995-June 1996 had Pedro get abducted by aliens from the planet Zorg, who took his "I Am Great!" Song about being "The Great Deep Thinker" to mean he could solve an issue with their teleporter. Zorg turned to him again several years later, to try and stop their land from getting sold off and turned into sports fields. In between, Pedro found himself captured by several other alien tribes. |

You Don't Look Like You: Eaton took several years to update Pedro's picture in Hitchin' Rack, highlighting the dissonance between the burro's appearances in the '70s and '90s. Additionally, after Pedro took on a cel-shaded, 3D-looking appearance in Hitchin' Rack and the Boys' Life website, Eaton continued to draw Wacky Adventures in a hand-drawn, 2D-looking style. |

In one storyline, Ordep had been posing as Pedro's butler, serving him alfalfa milkshakes to keep him off guard while he ruined Pedro's life. When Pedro finally escapes at the end, he says he never wants to see another one for the rest of his life, and runs screaming away when one of his friends comes by with a milkshake glass full of green liquid. It was actually a clover frappe. |

Fleeting Demographic Rule: Sometimes Eaton reused gags from comics that the then-current generation of Boys' Life readers seemed unlikely to have read themselves. |

comment |
Anthropomorphic Shift: In the time that passed since Boys' Life started recording Pedro's exploits (back in 1947), he's gone from being an apparently normal burro, to one who could stand on his hind legs, speak and write in English, and engage in human activities. |

Undesirable Prize: Pedro wins an unidentifiable doodad in an undisclosed contest. He tries to pass it off to Skinny, but a few other trades result in it going back to Pedro. |

comment |
Trauma Button Ending: When Pedro returns from the 31st century, he sees a floating red sphere, then screams that the Ruby Moon of Doom has found him again. After he faints from the shock, the strip reveals the sphere as merely a child's balloon. In one storyline, Ordep had been posing as Pedro's butler, serving him alfalfa milkshakes to keep him off guard while he ruined Pedro's life. When Pedro finally escapes at the end, he says he never wants to see another one for the rest of his life, and runs screaming away when one of his friends comes by with a milkshake glass full of green liquid. It was actually a clover frappe. After Pedro tells his friends about the horrors he experienced as Pedramoeba, an old acquaintance reunites with him, and remarks about their "small world." Pedro runs away screaming, to the acquaintance's confusion. |

Evil Twin: Pedro's efforts in constructing a mirror portal turned his reflection into a troublemaking Mirror Self named Ordep. Inverted when the mirror later turns Ordep's reflection into the goody-goody Erpod (who later experienced a Sudden Name Change to Derpo, originally an alternate alias of Ordep). |

The comic becomes The Wacky Adventures of Pedramoeba after Ordep shrinks Pedro to microscopic size.note November 2005-April 2006 |
